Exploring Mount Dora Florida! | Eating At The Magical Meat Boutique, Local History & More Fun!

[@writerpatrick]

So you're a Mount Dora Explorer.

[@LottieVentures]

I love that the British pub INCLUDES tax, like how we do it here in the UK! Dunno why, thought it was pretty cool lol (simple things 😂)

[@lukey_luke88]

I love America but the biggest annoyance is the tax 😂. This was a huge thumbs up when we noticed.

[@ladyk3729]

I hated that when visiting the US! The amount of times I thought I had the exact money only to have tax added at the till! Argh!

[@lukey_luke88]

As a Yorkshireman I can hand on heart say I've never heard of bangers and mash in the hole. Bangers and mash... Yep. Toad in the hole... Yep. Never combined 😂.

[@lindatannock]

That made me laugh! 😂🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@asteria_kitty7711]

As a Yorkshirewoman I can hand on heart say I have heard of bangers and mash served in a yorkshire pudding. Usually it's a large toad in hole with the only space left on the plate for the mash being inside the toad in the hole! 😂

[@tais1355]

my kingdom for some real English breakfast sausage. even when I lived in Houston there was only one place to get a full English breakfast, and even then only Sat/Sun. now I live in the country and I’d have to drive an hour minimum just to find a place to buy the correct sausage and black pudding, let alone have someone actually cook it up for me w all the trimmings 😭😭😭

[@philbarnard1890]

The bangers and mash are served in a giant Yorkshire pudding, hence the name of the dish.

[@illegalxinsect]

Wasn’t one of their new year’s predictions that they would go to a mountain? And now they’re at Mount Dora? Coincidence? I think not 😆

[@scottdoctor8570]

Some of my favorite videos are ones when they go to places outside the parks. There's more things to do in Florida than just the parks and beaches.

[@feller76]

Great line when Tim pointed out the houses in the water on stilts, “Perfect place for a Hurricane.”😳😬🤣

[@nicolaward1034]

A dinner cruise with no dinner, that was so funny & made me giggle 😂! Mount Dora, looks like a lovely place... xx

[@KChris08]

Mt. Dora at Christmas is absolutely Beautiful.

[@teairraweiss4195]

Crowded too lol 😂 my husband and I haven’t walked around DT during Christmas in years because of how packed it always is. We just drive by. It is beautiful though! I love the light display with Jesus near the park area! There’s also a Christmas store in downtown.

[@HailTheBug]

Marching in the MDHS band for the parade isn’t beautiful though Lmao. It’s tiring

[@marcushutchison1571]

Absolutely!!

[@sophiel388]

Love these different kind of vid lately, such a great family

[@juliajones2283]

Love exploring different parts of Florida with Tim Jenn and Jackson. Xxx

[@the4mouseketeers]

So, lately my hubby and I have been watching your videos every evening.. We throughly enjoy your videos, from Tim's sense of humor, your beautiful smiling son or Jens positivity... Thanks for always giving us a show to watch together and really enjoy!!!! Tim... we freakin love u, you and Jen were meant for this!! 🤪😝😘

[@peggymccaslin9083]

Loved Tim"s humor in this video...we laughed out loud several times! So enjoy your channel.

[@selinagame95]

I suggest going to One Flight Up, it's a really good coffee shop in Mount Dora but they have a lot of good dishes. Also they have a lot of good shops and dining places in Tavares like the O'Keefe's Irish pub and restaurant.

[@guerritine2408]

My family owns the shiva Indian restaurant on fifth in Mount Dora! We were super happy to see this video you guys made our day!

[@brrrrharrr]

The Magical Meat Boutique is what they called me in college.

underrated comment

[@waywardsiren8092]

Lets talk about that. 😎

[@jillbaldwin6507]

The 1 hour wait for your food is very authentically british. The pub did look very authentic. Loved seeing a bit of florida other than the parks.

[@d.redrobinphillips9959]

I really enjoy these vlogs in surrounding towns. Really nice. Thanks for this. Love exploring.

[@carlar9748]

I love Renninger's in Mount Dora! You can easily spend the entire day there looking at all the antiques they have. They also have some food booths in there also.

[@kimmariebimmarie]

It looks so cute there! I’d love to see a series of your family exploring lesser known places in Florida. Florida is so nice and while I love the theme parks the weather is so great I’m sure it’s nice to visit some cute towns too

[@The_Xman8]

Mount Dora is so gorgeous! They have this sushi spot called Wave Asian Bistro that takes sushi to a different level. Would recommend.

[@thenameisclassified]

The sushi burger was great 💕

[@Kdm109]

@@thenameisclassified and the Crunchwrap

[@LadyWitchfox]

That sushi place is amazing!

[@alliea8244]

Yes! Best sushi around.

[@MegaMillionsMike]

I was just there 😎

[@thecincinnaticouple233]

"I Need a New Butt." Probably one of the best titles for a book I've ever herd!🤣

[@brandonwong9242]

I love how Jackson always laugh during introduction of the video.

[@glennfinley670]

guys, the quote that you read on the sign was from Mother Theresa

[@joseluiscastillo6170]

I am really enjoying these videos showing the smaller towns in Florida. I get tired of the Disney videos all the time. I hope you can continue to do these different videos at least once per week.

[@aprilsmith5842]

I want to join Tim and Jenn and explore quaint, little towns...... & Disney attractions, too, of course! 😂

[@creepercompany4173]

I know all three towns since I live in Eustis. I love going to Mt. Dora and watching the sunset near the lighthouse. It is so beautiful! Hope you guys had a great time :))

[@thatssoravenclaw]

This is such a trip because my grandmother lived in Tavares my entire life and whenever we went to visit her we would have a day out in Mount Dora!

[@tais1355]

I selfishly want y’all to say “gesundheit” to Jackson when he sneezes bc I think it would so stinking cute if he ever tried to say it 😅😅

[@Mirke255]

The big pontoon boat tours of the lakes and canals in mt dora was one of the best tours i have ever been on. It reminded me of a jurassic park ride

[@lucillegass4715]

What a quaint place! Very relaxing and interesting video, on big smile from Jackson just warms my heart and makes me smile! Much needed! Thank you for the stroll!

[@elstoleno]

I still can't get over the fact you went to a British themed pub while all pubs in Britain are closed :')

[@irishgirl4977]

It is nice to get "out of the Disney bubble" and check out these little towns!

[@lhamil6]

I'm so glad that you guys are getting outside of Orlando! I'm so interesting in other things to do in the area. Thanks guys!

[@MarisaY84]

I absolutely love Jackson’s smiley giggle at the beginning of this video! He is getting more adorable by the day! 💙

[@sherrimclaughlin-ryan2501]

I LOVE YOUR OUT OF THE PARK VIDEOS!! THATS ONE REASON YOUR VIDEOS ARE SO GOOD,

[@victoriaglover1309]

You guys should definitely go back to Mount Dora!!! You’ve got to see the Van Gough House!!!

[@wiggydebates3944]

How interesting! Really artsy! Thanks for taking us around the towns this week.

[@tacoturtlefly]

I absolutely love little towns. And big little towns. More people need to love them and more people need to talk about them. I love them. HISTORY! And fun.

[@dmdrewitt]

Tim, Jen and Jackson. Its great to learn about different Florida towns. Please do more videos like this!!!

[@stuckinmopro8533]

No vinegar served for the fish and chips in a proper British pub? Sacrilegious!

[@LucianaEats]

Was just watching some of the super old vlogs... and the ones where you review your old vlogs! Its amazing to watch how far its all come! Thanks for bringing us a little positive escape everyday!

[@Surreality22992]

The "Honky Tonk FREEWAY" edit caught me off-guard!

[@keptitmodern]

When I tell you I raced to the comments to make sure I wasn’t the only one who caught that! It definitely scared me I had noise canceling headphones in and literally thought someone yelled at me when I thought I was the only one in the house

[@haleyweaver4968]

I still wish y'all would go to the Lakeland Antique Mall! You'd love it

[@christopherdownes6179]

In December 2019 me and my partner came to florida, from the UK for our 4th time, but this was the first time we decided to hire a car. The place we decided to visit was Mount Dora, we decided to have food in a little pub called Magical Meat Boutique. It was so beautiful in the night with all the Christmas lights and the tree, so much so when we come back in September this year we have decided to visit Mount Dora again in the day. This video today has brought back some wonderful memories for us. Thank you

[@jillfischer5724]

Thanks so much for the local town info. Absolutely love seeing different parts of Florida. It’s such a beautiful state.

[@nancyvozella3841]

Ooh my god!!! Jackson is soo funny when he laughs when Tim says Good morning!!!

[@allagametome4588]

You forgot they painted the whole downtown pepto bismal pink!! I was there just after they finished filming. It was very pink!! The tea room is wonderful. I went there often during my first pregnancy.

[@andystreet1479]

Thanks Tim Jen & Jackson for a great day out in Mount Dora looks a very cool place to spend a day away from theme parks thanks

[@ceoa]

I love touring with you guys because you go through every nook and cranny of a place. So much fun!🌸

[@NansGlobalKitchen]

Christmas in Mount Dora is really beautiful! Thanks for sharing your adventures with us❤

[@TheDisneyNerds]

I lived in Mt Dora until last year when I move down the road into Tavares. It’s a cute little area. You guys should come to Tavares some time and see the sea planes!

[@nancysmith7050]

I absolutely love watching your channel... thanks for taking us on your adventures!

[@sandymurphy2334]

Every year my BFF's and I would go to Mt Dora in the fall ... such great times .. we stayed at to the hotel and many of the B&B's in town .. thanks for this walk down memory lane !!

[@TasticFan]

5:20 missed opportunity to say "TIN TRACKER??"

[@martincole5854]

We stay in the Scottish town of Forres which is twinned with Mount Dora, we always stop into Mt Dora when we visit Florida.

[@jojopebbles]

I live in Mt. Dora and take my kids to the Forres playground everyday after school. 😊

[@CaroLoganBooks]

Ooh we're down in Grantown! Small world!

[@whereistheaimee4487]

My sister’s mother-in-law lived there. She was a member of the lawn bowling club. She took our family to Mt. Dora once.

[@ryankees6852]

I still remember the corn maze video a while back ago. I'm glad you had a chance to come back to Mt. Dora!😊 It's good to take some time away from the parks. 👍

[@kateadams7567]

Thank you so much for visiting Mount Dora! My grandparents lived in Mount Dora on the corner of N Donnelly St and 5th Avenue in the 70's. As a child we would make the long drive from NY to FL and stay with them for 2 weeks. Their apartment was above what is now Matamo Designs. The back door of the building led to the alleyway where the Mt Dora Historical Museum is (it used to be called the Jail Museum). At the front of the alley, where Scoops Ice Cream is, was a bakery - and to this day, the smell of a glazed donut brings me right back to Mt Dora. Apparently I took my first steps as a child by Lake Dora. I remember rollerskating in the evenings - we loved all the sidewalks and paths around the shuffleboard courts in Donnelly Park. My grandparents lived there when Honky Tonk Freeway was filmed - did you know they painted the entire main street PINK? www.orlandosentinel.com/news/lake/os-honky-tonk-freeway-mt-dora-20160817-story.html They painted everything back to its original color after filming but you could always find bits of pink sticking out here and there after that! Thank you again, for all of your videos. The world is a richer place because of you. :)

[@samjones8058]

Mt. Dora is having an art festival next weekend. It’s amazing and takes over the whole city. The Christmas walk is absolutely breathtaking it’s so magical.

[@alexprice6279]

Please continue these Florida exploration videos post pandemic, it’s a change up from the theme parks and is always nice to see your local areas! 😄

[@lostinwonderart]

I love these gems you’re sharing during spring break.

[@pauljamaes2518]

I live over in Eustis for 6 years and love to walk Mt. Dora. I learned more from your vlog then I did visiting. Thank you as always the best. Plus it is a thrill to see how Jackson has grown up.

[@almasteinhilber7516]

We love when you guys go to places in the surrounding area. As a person looking to eventually move to Florida, it's really nice to get a glimpse off the beaten path. Thanks!

[@jamtown607]

I really enjoyed these non Disney trips !!! So much more to see !!

[@hamilr5431]

Love this. Please do more hidden gems and exploring different towns.

[@ddjrm]

I really like it when you do things outside of the parks. Florida is such a fun place to explore!

[@accountforwastingtime]

Tim Tracker??? This vlog felt like such a throwback, I loved it! PS: I died at the 3 hour dinner cruise with no dinner lmao

[@johnriggs7994]

What a unique little town. Now I want to go visit Mt. Dora. Thank you Tim & Jenn and of course little Jackson.

[@oneblessedlife1709]

We live in Eustis and go to Mount Dora often! Our favorite place to eat there is Los Palamas! Sooo good!

[@madisonmings]

Oooh that places seem's very cool!!! I'm interested in the Elephant water Skiiing too!!! And oooh the food and desserts looked so good!!! I also love how Tim kind of had a pirate voice in part of this video lol and it's always great to see cute happy Jackson!!!

[@nikkipavisic]

I am loving these videos! Maybe you can go to Clermont next? I lived in Clermont for 5 years and loved it. 😊

[@AngiBelle1]

Aw, I used to love making trips out to Mount Dora when I lived in Orlando! I love little historic towns like that. I haven't been there in years since we moved to California, but it's such a neat place.

[@Nikkim17484]

Lol!! I love those misheard lyric mugs!!!

[@jennytaylor6144]

Had to replay the video at 3:15 to make sure my tv wasn’t breaking😅😂 love seeing you guys going out and being able to do more stuff as a family!!

[@symoneP]

Haha loving the American idea of a British pub and food, couldn’t be further from reality 😆

[@TiggiTheWillful]

Was gunna say that. Those fish and chips were pitiful looking. Smallest piece of fish I’ve ever seen. If I got served that in the uk, I’d assume they’d given me a fish cake by mistake... yuck. Huge slab of fish in bubbly beer batter or gtfo, with beef cut chips NOT fries. Also there’s no such thing as ‘bangers and mash in the hole’ it’s toad in the hole or bangers and mash. They have no business being combined. That pub was absolute cringe to an actual Brit. The worst.

[@philbarnard1890]

@@TiggiTheWillful Oi Prick. Maybe they offer a small , medium or large fish and chips and that is the small for about 6 quid to you. And yes the bangers & mash is served in a giant Yorkie pudding, so what would you call it?

[@vickimccollum2537]

It's fun to see other Florida locations, rather than only the parks! Thanks!

[@vickimccollum2537]

Looking forward to seeing the old hotel next time and the museums, too.

What a cool little town. Can't believe your food took so long to come out, and it didn't even look busy. Loved the purple "New Orleans" house on the lake - so different, and cool! "Dinner cruise with NO dinner" - ROTFL. Loved the "song parody" cups in that shop!! Socially distanced hugs to the 3 of you from New Jersey! Stay strong, stay positive, stay healthy!!

I like Tim’s mask with the nose clip. I need that with glasses.

[@RachelRose2]

I think it might just be adhesive nose bridge strips, I’ve seen them on Amazon. It seems like he wears them sometimes and then will have the same mask without it on sometimes. Not 100% sure though
